4. Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,
5. O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,
6. Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.
7. I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness.
8. Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
9. [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe--according to Thy word.
10. With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
11. In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
12. Blessed [art] Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.
13. With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.
14. In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.
15. In Thy precepts I meditate, And I behold attentively Thy paths.
16. In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.
